A People of Varied "Class"

Note; this is dedicated to all University students across Ghana. Picture yourself in it. Let's try to make the mind find its way through this maze. This is supposed to be a journal which will remain in the archives of our minds as members of a strong society and institution. If your admission into a university(GIJ to be precise) got you very excited, brace yourself for what is coming... You are not alone. The feeling was like winning a lottery or a visa to the USA.

An uncomfortable state of being however set in when I, for one,  discovered that my name was on the last class list labelled "E". In my head, I was thinking why the administration had to by pass all the letters A, B, C... and decide to place me in E. I heaved a sigh though, after all I'm still going to be in GIJ. Nothing is going to change about that.

 We started the journey and I must confess that Class E has not been boring at all. It is really sad to think about the fact that so soon the journey of first year has ended. The indelible mark and memories shared will stay with us for a long time. There are amazing stories of people to share; and oh! I like to talk about people and events, especially when they are overwhelmingly incredible. My class was a mixture of talent, craze, brainies, entrepreneurs, gangsters, beauties, and everything put together. Just imagine any character in the world and you are sure to find one there(especially when we even had an ex shoemaker for a lecturer). Let's quickly get to the Hall of Fame for the 2015/2016 Class E year group.

Remember, this is for the fun and memories of the moment. You can also call this list provisional since it is subject to scrutiny and changes. Also, pardon wrong name spellings. Nicknames will also be replaced with real names in cases where real names are not popularly known. List is also based on class observance only. (Non-GIJ and non-Class E students should feel free to fix their names)

I have observed with keen interest through my lenses how the class members have turned out to be a great family. I must also confess that there are a little hitches among some members. Hey! Let us try and shake off all the grudges. We must be ready to face the rest of the trip without any baggages. To those group members, friends, colleagues, who split for various reasons, I pray that you have a change of mind. We are going on a long vacation and who knows what might happen. That person you are not on good terms with might be no more. Hurry! Go give them a long hug or a handshake(no time for gay-tags), try and settle your differences.

On behalf of all the bullies and no-nonsense people in any class, I apologize to every person who have been offended knowingly or unknowingly by some actions and inactions exhibited in times past. And to all the great people who caused us enormous joy through their great friendships and experiences shared, we say 'Ayekoo'. Your jokes, smiles, company, and funny comments, made the journey an unforgettable one.

Dear good Samaritans, you in one way or the other saved our ass by paying for our transport fares, sharing your food and drinks, lending us extra pens(which we forgot to return), bought us handouts, and did us many more favors which we are grateful for. We say, "God bless you!". But for you, life on campus would have been quite a hell.
